| Chinese sculptor Dong Zuo Hai used strong, simple lines to create this powerful granite figure. Called "Man from Shandong," the sculpture honors the many thousands of people from the artist's home province who were forced by severe flooding along the Yellow River during the 1920s to relocate from temperate Shandong to the frozen region of Dongbei (Manchuria) in the north along the Russian border. Wrapped in a heavy overcoat and hat, the figure's origin is established by the provincial Shandong bag that hangs in the front below his wide sleeves. Only the weathered face and the bag are polished black granite, giving them emotional impact within the surrounding grey expanse of rough, unpolished granite. This late 20th century piece is in perfect condition. We estimate the weight at approximately 300 pounds. Dimensions: height 37" (94 cm), width 14" (36 cm), depth 12" (31 cm). | |||||||||||
